Buffalo, New York, has about as serious
grade crossing question as any place. That
city has nearly 600 miles of track within its
limits and some of the grade crossings have
200 teams an hour with trains every two
minutes. Nearly 200 fagmen are employed
to guard these crossings, and it is estimated
that the railroad companies expend the in
terest of So, 100000 annually in this Work.
The Engineering News, fair authority on
such subjects, estimates that the cost of
raising all the tracks in Buffalo so as to run
clear of the streets, at the same time lower
ing the streets four to six feet at the cross
ing, would be 4,615, 900, or s15,383 a cross
ing.

the composing room of Boston paper the
other day that Christian names were to be

in no instance to be printed in full. The
next issue contained mention of G. Cleve

81 hear it reported on the street that
the experiments made with your electric
cars have not proved satisfactory" said Il
reporter to Mr.. j. Thompson Brown,
president of the Union Passenger-Rail-
way Company, yesterday.
Mr.. Brown laughed heartily at the
idea, and said "What will people say
about us next, | wonder? There is alb
solutely no truth IN the report. The
experiments have been satisfactory.
What have you heard 2"
"Well, I've heard it said, answered
the reporter, "that the experiment the
other night showed that your machinery
was incapable of propelling more than
one car that forty cars were ont OF the
question. Further, that your work had
come to halt and it would be impossi-
ble to run the cars 10y your present sys-
tenn"
"That's all mistake" said Mr..
Brown. "We have been working under
great disadvantages, but we will over
come all of them. Our work is necessa-
rily slow because the delicacy of our
machinery requires careful and tedious
trial But after 1t is all in order and
properly tested the line will run, and
with forty cars, too. We received the
third batch of cars to-day. We have
thirty now"
"When will the road be open TO

YOUNG MANS TROUBLE,
Wholesale Houses Collector
Charged with EmbezzIemcnt.

Charged with Embezziencnt.
At late hour Saturday night Mr.. II.
T. Walker, a young man aud a we'll
known resident of Church Hill, was ar
rested on a warrant charging him with
embezzling SSl5 of the money OF Hall,
Powers d Co., wholesale dealers in fancy
groceries, confectiOns, &c.
Mr.. Walker was employed by the firm
rs a solicitor Of city trade and collector
of bills. Last week they notified him
that he was allowing some of his Gus
toners to get too much in arrears, and
that if he did not proceed forthwith to
collect those claims they would employ
another man to do it. Upon receiving
this positive notification Mr.. Walker
wrote the firm letter explaining that
he had collected the money in ques-
ton and used it, and was now unable
to make it good, but soon would be. He
furnished them with list of his unre-
ported collections, which balanced their
books. Following upon this letter Mr.
Hall had Mr.. Walker arrested. They
had had no sort of idea of Mr.. Walker S
doings until they received his letter OF
confession. They thought that he was
slow and inattentive to business, but
suspected nothing worse.
Sunday morning POlice7Justiee Rich
ardson went to the First station-house
and heard some of the testimony and
the statement of the prisoner, after
which he allowed the latter bail and
fixed Friday for a hearing of the case.
Mr. Walker gave bail in the sum OF
$500, with Mr.. w. A. Blankenship as
surety.
